That is annoying as I was hoping a bigger screen (in terms of inches) would allow me to see more of a webpage or my inbox, than my smaller screen phone - but instead it's just displaying the same amount of stuff, but bigger!

Is the ppi pixel density the measurement of how much can fit on the screen?

Yup. The website detects the device as a phone for example, hence the same thing is displayed. However there are still some settings you can tweak without needing root. For example, some browsers have a setting to adjust thr minimum font size viewable. This would adjust how much text you can see in the webpage since a bigger screen with higher res can show smaller fonts more clearly. Sadly this doesn't work on all websites.
